Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bin or can for collecting waste.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a bin comprising a vessel and a pivoting lid that can be moved between an open position in which it allows waste to be put into the vessel and a closed position in which it rests on the periphery of the vessel.
  • Such bins are commonly fitted with wheels.
  • the vessel and/or the lid of certain known bins are provided with rubber abutments serving to damp the banging of the lid on the vessel.
  • Proposals have also been made to implement a brake in the hinge between the lid and the vessel so as to slow down the lid as it approaches its closed or open positions.
  • Such a brake is relatively difficult to make and, in addition, its effectiveness decreases over the lifetime of the bin because contacting portions are subject to wear.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,917,257 discloses braking a waste container lid by providing an upwardly projecting rib on the vessel of the container to co-operate with the edge of the lid to form an air flow baffle during closure of the bin.
  • the invention seeks to reduce considerably the noise of closing the lid and to do so in a manner that is simple, effective, and constant throughout the lifetime of the bin.
  • the invention achieves this by the fact that the lid and the vessel are arranged in such a manner that the air leaving the vessel during closure of the lid and when the lid is close to its closed position is forced to turn at least twice, being forced to pass between substantially vertical surfaces belonging respectively to the lid and to the vessel, at least at the front of the lid, preferably at least at the front of the lid and on both sides thereof, and more preferably still all round the four edges of the lid, so as to encourage the creation of raised pressure inside the vessel, which raised pressure tends to brake the displacement of the lid towards its closed position.
  • the lid is braked effectively without having to add rubber abutments to the vessel or the lid.
  • the invention provides advantages in that the speed of the lid when it reaches its closed position is reduced, such that the above-mentioned abutments are stressed to a lesser extent and can be smaller in size.
  • the intensity of braking increases when the lid is slammed down harder against the vessel.
  • the two vertical surfaces between which the air is forced to pass and which belong respectively to the lid and to the vessel are spaced apart by less than 50 millimeters (mm).
  • the lid has an inner wall or skirt on its inside surface, which inner wall is preferably shaped to engage inside the vessel when the bin is closed.
  • the spacing between the skirt or inner wall and the main walls of the vessel, when the bin is closed, can lie in the range 2 mm to 50 mm, for example.
  • the inner wall or skirt is of sufficient height to begin opposing the departure of the air contained inside the vessel and the lid while the lid is closing and is open at an angle of about 2.5°.
  • the height of the inner wall or skirt along the front of the lid lies in the range 1 centimeter (cm) to 8 cm.
  • the bin may include a rib extending the main walls of the vessel around the opening thereof.
  • the rib extends around the inner wall or skirt when the bin is closed.
  • the height of the above-mentioned rib along the front side can lie in the range 0 to 3 cm.
  • the lid has an outer skirt.
  • the outer skirt of the lid extends around the above-mentioned rib when the bin is closed.
  • the inner skirt or wall of the lid advantageously presents varying height along the sides of the lid with height increasing towards the front, at least from a middle region of the lid situated halfway between the front and rear of the lid.
  • the inner wall or skirt along the sides of the lid presents a height that increases from the vicinity of the rear edge of the lid going towards the front edge of the lid.
  • the lid has an inner wall or skirt presenting a rounded profile along two opposite edges of the lid, preferably along two sides thereof, which profile is concave towards the vessel when the bin is closed, and the top wall of the lid is convex towards the outside, the profile of the inner skirt being selected in such a manner as to make it easier to stack lids prior to their assembly on the vessels of bins.
  • the bin can have a collar against which the outer skirt of the lid rests when the bin is closed.
  • this collar can include a downwardly-directed rim.
  • this rim can serve to receive the ends of combs in the hoisting mechanism of the connection vehicle.
  • the vessel can also have two upwardly-directed parallel ribs, and the lid has a wall or skirt arranged to engage between said ribs when the bin is closed.
  • the lid has an inner wall or skirt arranged to engage in the vessel when the bin is closed, and an outer skirt arranged to bear against a collar of the vessel, the bin further having a rib suitable for engaging between the inner and outer skirts of the lid.
  • the vessel has a collar and two ribs, at least one of the ribs being carried by said collar, and the lid has an outer skirt arranged to engage between said ribs when the bin is closed.
  • the lid further has an inner wall or skirt arranged to engage inside the vessel when the bin is closed.
  • the vessel has a collar and two ribs, at least one of the ribs being carried by said collar, and the lid has an inner wall or skirt arranged to engage between said two ribs, and has an outer skirt arranged to surround them when the bin is closed.
  • the vessel has a collar presenting an upwardly-open channel
  • the lid has an outer skirt arranged to engage in said channel when the bin is closed.
  • the lid also has an inner wall or skirt arranged to engage in the vessel when the bin is closed.
  • the vessel has a collar presenting a step
  • the lid has an outer skirt arranged to surround said collar and has an inner skirt arranged to bear on the base of said step when the bin is closed.
  • the vessel has a collar with a rim that presents a step
  • the lid has an outer skirt arranged to bear against the base of said step when the bin is closed, and an inner wall or skirt arranged to engage in the vessel.
  • the vessel has a collar having, in section, a portion in the form of a crenellation, and the lid has a downwardly-open channel, the portion in the form of a crenellation of the collar being arranged to engage in the channel of the lid when the bin is closed.
  • the vessel has a collar whose section presents a portion in the form of a crenellation
  • the lid has an inner wall or skirt and an outer skirt arranged to take up positions on either side of said portion in the form of a crenellation when the bin is closed.
  • the collar has a rim whose section is ⁇ -shaped, the bin has a rib extending the main walls of the vessel upwards, and the lid has a skirt or wall arranged to engage between the above-mentioned rim and said rib.
  • the top edge of the vessel at least at the front, forms an inwardly directed step
  • the lid has an outer skirt suitable for bearing against the base of said step when the bin is closed, and has an inner wall or skirt arranged to engage inside the vessel.
  • the capacity of the bin can lie in the range 20 liters (l) to 2400 l.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic section view of a bin of the invention
  • FIG. 2 corresponds to detail II of FIG. 1 when the lid is about to reach its closed position
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary section through a side of the lid on section line III of FIG. 1 once the lid has reached its closed position;
  • FIGS. 4 to 16 and 20 show various configurations for the lid and the vessel.
  • FIGS. 17 to 19 show three variant embodiments of the lid.
  • the bin 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a vessel 2 and a lid 3 hinged via its rear edge 4 to the vessel 2 about a horizontal axis of rotation.
  • the vessel 2 and the lid 3 are made of plastics material.
  • the bin 1 is provided with wheels 5 , there being two such wheels in the embodiment described.
  • the bin 1 has an outer collar 6 extending around the entire periphery of the top portion of the vessel 2 .
  • the collar 6 has a horizontal plane wall terminated at its periphery by a downwardly-directed rim 7 .
  • the rim 7 is of a shape that is adapted to receive the ends of the combs of a hoist mechanism on a collecting vehicle.
  • the bin 1 is emptied by being tilted forwards, i.e. in the direction of arrow V in FIG. 1 .
  • the lid 3 When the bin 1 is open, the lid 3 rests against the rear wall 8 of the vessel 2 .
  • brake means are arranged in such a manner as to slow down the flow of air that is held captive inside the vessel 2 beneath the lid 3 while the bin 1 is being closed, and the brake means can be implemented in a variety of ways without thereby going beyond the ambit of the present invention.
  • FIGS. 2 to 16 show various embodiments.
  • the lid 3 has a slightly curved top wall 30 which is provided at its periphery with a downwardly-directed outer skirt 31 when the bin is closed.
  • the bottom end 32 of the outer skirt 31 bears against the collar 6 when the bin 1 is closed.
  • a tubular inner skirt 33 projects from the inside face of the top wall 30 of the lid 3 .
  • This inner skirt 33 extends vertically when the bin 1 is closed, and it is then engaged inside the vessel 2 .
  • the main walls of the vessel 2 are extended upwards above the collar 6 by a rib 9 , which rib borders the opening to the vessel 2 .
  • the spacing between the rib 9 and the inner skirt 33 when the bin 1 is closed is preferably less than 50 mm.
  • the spacing between the outer skirt 31 and the rib 9 is less than 50 mm when the bin 1 is closed.
  • the outer and inner skirts 31 and 33 and the rib 9 constitute a baffle which forces the air expelled from the vessel 2 by closing the lid 3 to be deflected before it can reach the outside.
  • the rib 9 is merely optional and, in a variant that is not shown, the baffle effect with the air changing direction twice can be achieved by making it flow around the inner skirt 33 and around the bottom end 32 of the outer skirt 31 .
  • FIG. 3 it can be seen that the rib 9 engaged between the inner and outer skirts 33 and 31 along the sides of the lid 3 when the bin 1 is closed.
  • the air is forced to pass round the bottom of the inner skirt 33 whose height at the front of the lid 3 is 35 mm, for example, prior to the air then being constrained to rise in the narrow space between the inner skirt 33 and the rib 9 , after which it is again deflected downwards by the outer skirt 31 prior to being able to escape through the gap left between the bottom edge 32 of the outer skirt 31 and the collar 6 .
  • the movement whereby the lid 3 is closed brings more air into the vessel 2 than is capable of escaping through the gap between the lid 3 and the vessel, thereby tending to cause the pressure inside the vessel 2 to rise momentarily, which increase in pressure brakes the movement of the lid 3 .
  • the lid 3 is thus slowed down before it reaches its closed position (where the lid bears against the rib 9 ) and the noise generated by the lid 3 banging against the vessel 2 is reduced.
  • FIG. 4 differs from the preceding embodiment by the absence of an inner skirt 33 and by the presence of a second rib 11 parallel to the rib 9 , so that the outer skirt 31 engages between the ribs 9 and 11 .
  • the height of the rib 11 lies in the range 2 mm to 50 mm, for example.
  • the thickness of the skirt 31 is 4 mm, for example.
  • the spacing between the ribs 9 and 11 lies in the range 5 mm to 100 mm, for example.
  • FIG. 5 differs from the preceding embodiment by the presence of an inner skirt 33 as well, like the embodiment of FIG. 2;
  • the bin has ribs 9 and 11 , as in the embodiment of FIG. 5, and the lid 3 has outer and inner skirts 41 and 43 .
  • the collar 6 is relatively wide.
  • the outer skirt 41 bears against the collar 6 when the bin is closed outside the rib 11 , while the inner skirt 43 engages between the ribs 9 and 11 .
  • the spacing between the outer skirt 41 and the rib 11 lies in the range 2 mm to 50 mm, for example.
  • the spacing between the inner skirt 43 and the rib 11 lies in the range 2 mm to 50 mm, for example.
